    Interestingly, electrification is now proceeding as an appliances service. Phone, light and radio come with solar and battery. Don't pay your bill? The devices won't work. http://www.economist.com/news/...

  14. I just don't see any support for your claim that the satellite has made that determination.

  15. I don't think that makes sense. It hasn't been up long enough, and had it been, it might have forced a downward revision. http://www.carbonbrief.org/stu...
